O brulionach wiersza Pan Cogito i wyobraźnia
On the Drafts of the Poem Mr. Cogito and the Imagination

Summary/Abstract: The article subjects to analysis the selected motifs of the Zbigniew Herbert’s poem Mr. Cogito and the Imagination based on the draft copies of the work stored in the poet’s archive. The analysis of the manuscripts, which reveals a different, hidden aspect of the final text, allows to investigate what was omitted in the process of creation, e.g. the motif of Daedal and the reference to the Upanishads, and trace the development of the significant themes of the poem: a concept of identity and the notion of tautology.
